Mani Bhavan Gandhi Sangrahalaya in Mumbai

Mani Bhavan Gandhi Sangrahalaya is an old two-storey building, which serves as a museum and research centre. Formerly a house of Shri Revashankar Jagjeevan Jhaveri – a friend and host of Mahatma Gandhi, this place served as Gandhiji’s home whenever he visited Mumbai. It was from here that Gandhiji initiated various non-violent movements against the British Government, including Satyagraha. In 1955, the building was dedicated as a lasting memorial to Mahatma Gandhi and to the revolutionary activities he initiated from the bhavan. Gandhian Literature, framed letters, photographic exhibits and tableaux inside the museum depict his stature and strength.
